Fast Compilation

|  Overview |  How Do I |  Compiler Options

One way to speed compilation is to use minimal rebuild and incremental compilation. With minimal rebuild, a feature specific to C++, the compiler can recompile a source file only if it is dependent on changes to a class in a header file. With incremental compilation, the compiler recompiles only those functions that have changed since the last compile time.

Another way to speed compilation is to use the precompiled header options. For a full discussion, see Creating Precompiled Header Files.
